Elijah Predicts a Drought

17Now Elijah the Tishbite, of Tishbe* in Gilead, said to Ahab, As the Lord the God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall be neither dew nor rain these years, except by my word.
2The word of the Lord came to him, saying,
3Go from here and turn eastwards, and hide yourself by the Wadi Cherith, which is east of the Jordan.
4You shall drink from the wadi, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.
5So he went and did according to the word of the Lord; he went and lived by the Wadi Cherith, which is east of the Jordan.
6The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from the wadi.
